Hello and happy weekend!
This week I shared a make-ahead favorite: a chickpea tortellini salad that’s perfect for lunches. I also posted ranch chicken meatballs with broccoli couscous—a family staple we always come back to. With Easter coming up, I rounded up a collection of spring recipes so you can build an entire menu, and finished the week with irresistible granola scones.
Find our new weekly menu and a fresh “week in the life” post on the blog for inspiration and real-meal ideas you can try this week.
I also shared everything I read in March, plus a roundup of favorites. My March picks are up, along with my Sephora sale favorites for anyone shopping the event.
